Is it just that I'm a Californian and have had more exposure?<br /><br />By the way, you remind me that there is a very good novel called <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/72257.The_Fig_Eater" rel="nofollow">The Fig Eater</a>, although I see that not everyone liked it over at Good Reads. Maybe you'll like it more if you read it while eating figs.
